ABUS Hyban 2.0 Velvet Black is an urban cycling helmet with a rear LED light, designed for everyday commuting, journeys to work and recreational riding. Its robust outer shell is combined with large ventilation openings, providing practical protection while maintaining airflow during active city riding.
Key Features
Construction and Design
The helmet uses a hard-shell construction in which a durable injection-moulded plastic shell covers the impact-absorbing foam core. This design is resistant to everyday wear and suitable for frequent use in urban environments.
The matt Velvet Black finish gives the helmet a subtle appearance that pairs easily with different bicycles and cycling clothing. A removable clip-on peak helps shield the eyes from sunlight and can be detached for a cleaner helmet profile.
Main Functions
A rear LED light helps improve the rider’s visibility in lower-light conditions. It offers steady and flashing modes, while a reflective element provides additional visibility in the dark.
The Zoom Spin adjustment system uses a rear dial to adapt the helmet accurately to the rider’s head circumference. A full head ring distributes pressure evenly and helps keep the helmet securely positioned.
Use and Compatibility
The ABUS Hyban 2.0 is suitable for teenagers and adults riding urban, hybrid, touring or electric bicycles. It is designed for daily journeys through city streets, cycle paths and shorter recreational routes.
The height-adjustable retention system includes an opening for longer hairstyles. This makes the helmet comfortable to wear with a ponytail, braid or bun.
Additional Features
Large ventilation openings support airflow during warm-weather rides and more intensive cycling. A front insect mesh helps prevent bugs from entering the helmet without restricting ventilation.
Flap Divider strap guides allow the straps below the ears to be adjusted individually, while a conventional chin buckle provides straightforward fastening. Soft internal comfort pads can be removed, washed by hand or replaced when required.
Summary
The ABUS Hyban 2.0 Velvet Black is intended for urban cyclists who need a robust, well-ventilated and easily adjustable helmet for everyday journeys. Its rear LED light, reflective element, insect mesh and removable peak provide practical functionality for varied city riding conditions.
